The defending World Series champion Washington Nationals Host New York Yankees at Nationals Park when Major League Baseball starts a season like no other. Giancarlo Stanton and Adam Eaton started the party by hitting the season’s first home runs in the first inning.
The Yankees sent their new ace to the mound at Gerrit Cole, whom they signed with a record $ 324 million deal this offseason. Meanwhile, the Nats turned to veteran right-hander Max Scherzer, who made his fifth career on Opening Day. It is a mandatory launch match for Opening Day. Washington star Juan Soto, however, did not participate in the first game after testing positive for COVID-19. Spectators can see some of the new league rules on display, but there will be no fans present at the Nationals Park game tonight. The Yankees are a favorite to win the 2020 World Series title, while the Nationals’ odds were somewhat successful following the departure of third baseman All-Star Anthony Rendon last offseason.
